So, with Bolton in place, where will tRump be if Iran and Russia unite against the US. There are some grave events likely to happen. Trump, has united the world against the US. The US is about 4% of the world's population.

The deepening ties were reflected when Putin flew to Tehran, in November, for talks with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani. Our coöperation can isolate America, Khamenei told Putin, according to Irans media. Putin called the growing Russian-Iran coöperation very productive.
Putin and Khamenei spent a highly unusual hour together, one on one, accompanied only by interpreters. The most important thing that Putin said was, I will not betray you, Ali Vaez, an Iranian-American who heads the Iran portfolio of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, told me.

(115,806 posts)1. So, how can Trump, encouraged by Bolton, bomb Iran
and still be Putin's BFF?

this crew at the helm it's time IMO to move the nuclear clock up some. What an incredible mess/situation. Hmmm maybe there will be a divorce between the BFF's. I've been listening to Lawrence O'Donnell. It's bad, really bad, with Bolton in the mix.
